I got this bit of news from the Perl.com newsletter.
I guess the owners of "Programming Perl 2nd Edition" have now to shug
out more cash for the new edition :( Although I dare say it STILL is
pretty good !
BTW any one knows of a book seller who is giving more than 22.5% off on
SPD O'Reilly books ?

> We're up to 5.6.0 now, so it's way past time for an update.
> Tom and Larry have been working on it furiously for months now,
